Key matchup: Bears MLB Brian Urlacher vs. Rams RBs. Marshall Faulk is questionable -- he was on crutches Monday after he sprained left ankle and strained tendon in right foot on Sunday. Lamar Gordon, a rookie, and Trung Candidate will be called on to fill the void. Urlacher, an All-Pro last year, might feast on young backs.
Streaks, stats and notes: Rams QB Marc Bulger looks for fifth consecutive win in fifth career start. He set franchise record with 36 completions last week and has highest passer rating (107.4) in NFL. ... Bears WR Marty Booker is tied for NFL lead with 14 catches of 20 yards or more. He's second in NFC with 762 yards receiving and 5 TDs. ... Should Faulk play, he needs 62 yards to become second player in NFL history with 5,000 yards rushing with two teams (Colts and Rams).
